I know "Johnson's Law of Expectations" and "Johnson's Law of Global Worrying", but which is this?

"We’ve added three in our diocese this year, all in Oregon."
Buddhist bishops?

LOL, no. This was in response to:

Luckily, there is a movement of traditional Anglicans starting new churches all over the country.

The one about Episcopalians. Discovered by Christopher Johnson of Midwest Conservative Journal, Johnson's Law states that it is impossible to pardoy the Episcopalians because every parody about TEC will eventually come true. The Buddhist bishop is a case in point.

Given Johnson's Law, people really should be more careful about how they parody the Episcopalians: Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before TEC begins openly worshiping Molech and erecting a church to St. Arius of Alexandria.

Ah good. You can only have one Buddhist bishop per diocese, you know! ;)

In all seriousness, it’s good to hear that Traditional Anglicans are thriving in certain parts of the country. God bless.

Interestingly enough there is nothing in the Book of Common Prayer to support the consecration of this man, to the contrary, the examination and prayer in the service are to contrary.

Also,the Constitution and By-Laws take exception to such a person becoming bishop. The problem is that the voting members don't know the Prayer Book.

Too late. Abp of Canterbury is a druid high priest. No kidding.
